I think Imma make a thread of Things That Make Me Happy*. (Cuz I feel depression coming on, and that's no fun in the best of times, never mind during a pandemic lockdown.)

*Y'all are allowed to add on

Here to start me off, STAY AWAY FROM THE WINCHESTER!

What makes me happiest about the response--aside from the BOOKS!--is that other bookstores are also responding to requests, and at different price points, too. So, yes, get your read on and support your favorite indy bookshop during This #QuaratineLife! https://twitter.com/chbooksdc/status/1241388694118043648?s=20
Desiderata as read by Tom Hiddleston. It's a lovely poem, and he's a lovely voice.

"Be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe;
No less than the trees and the stars,
You have a right to be here."
~Max Ehrmann

I'm from Boston originally, and I can attest to the trueness of this phenomenon 100%.

But, how could they pronounce Dorchester, Weymouth and Worcester right...and then get Braintree so weirdly wrong? It defies expectations!

There's always some good news in the world...and sometimes, there are surprise guests in the form of @Lin_Manuel. And singing. Sometimes there is singing.
From a few months ago, but the aggrievedness of a six year old who wants desperately "to go to the pub when her own mother won't let her" is unmatched by anything known to man.

Also, her Dad needs to quit "pretending" to clean. πŸ˜‚

Reminds me of _Make Way For Ducklings_, 1 of my favorite books as a child. I lived in Boston then, my Dad worked at the @BPLBoston, so I had been to the Commons not infrequently. Played near the swan boats. Understood the dangers of jaywalking while smol. https://twitter.com/PriscillaWT/status/1249043727022280706?s=20

Today was the 13th Anniversary of Pizza Chucker Day at Fenway Park! The video makes me chuckle, I admit, but the commentary from the booth is just sooooo Boston, it makes me miss me ol' hometown somethin fierce.

Oh, Kay, how you amuse me so.
Various musicals (Les Mis, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Annie, and many more!) are spoofed during the "Man orders lobster at a diner," "Man asks to use bodega restroom," and "Man buys LaGuardia sushi" sketches.

This thread is AMAZING. The third installment of Beauty and the Beast is especially awe inspiring, for sheer number of characters played by one person in a 2 minute video, if nothing else. https://twitter.com/mneelzy/status/1245044972069326851?s=20
